1
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesusmother was there,
2
and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3
When the wine ran out, Jesusmother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4
Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.(a)
7
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8
Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10
and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
11
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

(Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19; Luke 19:45–48)
12
After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13
When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
In the temple courts (b) He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15
So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16
To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”(c)
18
On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
20
This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
21
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
22
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23
While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24
But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
25
He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

1
The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesusmother was there.
2
Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
3
When the wine ran out, Jesusmother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
5
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
6
Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jewsway of purifying, containing two or three metretes(a) apiece.
7
Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
8
He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
9
When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
10
and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11
This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

(Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19; Luke 19:45–48)
12
After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15
He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changersmoney and overthrew their tables.
16
To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
17
His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”(b)
18
The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20
The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
23
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24
But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
25
and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
